Abingdon return to the Premier one season after being relegated along with Wokingham & Emmbrook and Milton United at the end of the 2015/16 season.

United edged out third placed Hook Norton by a point on the final day of the season – Norton won their match at home to Woodstock Town 2-1 but missed out on a promotion spot after Abingdon beat New College 2-1.

For a few minutes, it looked like Hook Norton would snatch second place with the scores level at Nortcourt Road until an injury time Jack Clark goal sparked raucous celebrations on the Berks/Oxon border which you can see in the video below.

There is still a chance for Hooky to take promotion with a precedent set for three sides going up in Division 1 West at the end of the 2014/15 season when Longlevens, Tuffley Rovers and Lydney United were all promoted along with Wokingham & Emmbrook and Brackley Town Saints in the east.
